    Boy are you nominally correct but entirely wrong on sentiment, clarity and motivation.

    My previous comment, about American healthcare being terrible, disclaims your ostensibly argumentative position and is a review of having used the American healthcare system 15 years ago and not having used it since because of how terrible it is.

    I am not advocating for using the American healthcare system, I am correcting the incorrect opinion that Biden is not focusing on health care, while accessible and affordable healthcare is a primary concern of the Biden administration that he has significantly addressed with executive support about a dozen times in his first term.

    Since Americans keep voting for and buying into the private health care system, Biden is making the option American citizens are choosing and American corporations are pushing, more affordable and accessible.

    His administration is doing the best they can with what American citizens choose to pay for and American corporations choose to provide.

        Yes, your non-concerns are my non-concerns as well.

        The OP is what I have a problem with and what my comments are addressing, the incorrect blaming of Biden for a legacy private healthcare system, especially when it has been a primary focus of Biden’s administration to correct as much as it can within the contemporary system.

        Biden has done amazing work in less than four years to give tens of millions of people affordable and accessible health care, as well as working on ACA.

        Americans are voting within the two-party system within the current American for-profit medical infrastructure, and neither of these two parties want badly enough to change the contemporary health care system.

        While it is impossible to get quality, affordable health care in the current American system without being born into it or getting lucky, it is very simple to go abroad for the purpose of medical tourism.

        Flights anywhere in the world are a couple hundred dollars, and healthcare is easily half of what it is in the states while achieving a similar medical outcome, and often even cheaper, so you’re saving hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars easily with any non-urgent operation.

        This may not be as convenient as other services Americans expect, but as they are living within and paying into an exploitative health care system, it is what many Americans are looking for.

        Less money, less time, equitable healthcare.

            Close, Biden provided a better healthcare at an affordable price that people were asking for instead of providing a new health care that people were not asking for.
